[Samba] !!ATTENTION NEWBIES!!

[Bart Bekker]

The way I see the use of this mailing list is that everybody that uses the
knowledge gathered here also has the responsibility to contribute at his own
level.
By this I mean that I, having some Samba experience, try to answer those
questions that correspond to my level of skills.
I will explain how to join a win2k client to a samba hosted domain. I don't
mind repeating myself every two weeks.
That way questions about bugs and other more advanced things will be left
for the real Gods of Samba out here.
I believe in open source and I believe that despite my language barrier and
my humble knowledge I can contribute my share.
And as in time my knowledge will advance, I will, thanks to all the people
out here, be able to contribute more and  even perhaps help with the
development of open source software.

In essense, yes, I was saying those very things, and
offered ways I've used to answer my own Samba
questions. I WAS trying to help, not cause more
yelling. It's hard to inflect in email (:

If you were to subscribe to my LUG's mailing list,
you'd see me taking great pains to answer newbie
questions. But that's a different type of channel.

In here, I've asked good questions and had to repeat
them a few times to be heard. There's just too many
simple questions. No doubt you developers are just
burnt out from the volume, and I'd much rather you
debug Samba than answer "How do I join a domain?" for
the 15th time.
